About
Fitted by Sam
Bikefitting is an absolute dream for me because I get to nerd out on cycling while helping others to enjoy cycling more in the process. I've ridden competitively from the age of 14 and now compete at elite level in triathlon; this experience, combined with my formal training at Torke bikefitting is what sets me apart – I love my subject and I'm educated in it.
My style of bikefitting is very down to earth and approachable. Bikefitting is a complex topic but I like to explain the reason for changes as I'm making them so that my customers end their fits feeling like they've both understood – and contributed to – the process. If you're looking for an angle-measuring gadget-driven fit that spits out some numbers, look away now! What you'll get instead is a considerate approach, attention to detail and a fitter who knows the numbers but most importantly listens to the needs of the rider.

Bikes are sold with arbitrary shapes of saddle, length of stem and width of handlebar. But every human is built differently, so you can't expect it to fit straight out of the box. A bikefit is the process of getting your bike tailor-made for you so that you can ride fast, far, and in comfort.

Historically, bikefitting benefitted only the select few who made it through to the professional ranks. Thankfully that's no longer the case! Bikefitting is for everyone. In fact, it could be argued that it benefits the everyday rider most…

Not only do you leave with a bicycle that has been adjusted to your specification, but the bike's measurements are then recorded so that they can be applied to any other bike. A bikefit is not specific to one bike – that's why it's such a worthwhile investment to your cycling.
